Where is everyone #5

That is some sweet music to my ears! Thanks @OLDSKOOLERnWV!

 

Found a hole in some woods and stabbed it in there. Was peaceful because I wasnt worried about getting hit.

I actually have no clue, the volumes all the way down so it might if I let it.

 

If it was a Superliner it would be better. I would like to build a Superliner and Big Cam 3 someday.

Not to forget the oil returns slow. I seen a DT466 fire at -30 and the hot shot yard jockey rev it. Dumped chunky oil right out the blow by tube. Buckets of it fast. Man that was a cold night. Sunday night, Third shift walking in, Penske fleet over at Whirlpool calls in for no starts. The whole fleet. The GFI breaker tripped and cut off block heaters between Friday and Sunday. No one there to keep a eye on them. So cold the starters wouldnt crank them because how cold the oil was. 20 or 25 tractors. Change filters add 911 to them. Air them up, pull them back. Tow them 2 laps around yard before turning key on to get oil moving. Then bang. I think all but two started. About -30°. All night job. As we are packing up, the manager comes out and thanks me, and Brady, we here this terrible crash. Yep, one leaving dumps a loaded trailer across three lanes. Ol Mike just said
"Well your here". Radio back to shop for a Heavy wrecker". That was 2.5 shifts you started to wonder when it was gonna end! Sorry so long. Memory lane trip.

 

Morning fellas!


It only took two weeks, but the trailer finally got a wash! Also was told that I'm going to be in 247 for a while yet, no plans for new bulk equipment. Not sure how I feel about that honestly. I know I've probably ranted on this topic before, so I'll just let it be. Would just be nice for the promise I was given a year ago for a new truck be delivered on.

 

Your welcome, Just figured some would enjoy hearing a mechanical governor hunting and belching lol. @wore out actually got me to thinking about it.

 

Real outlaw truckin' here...



Got 59,282 in the tank (granted, this thing started its life in 1988 as a spring ride tandem).

 

Betcha James would be jumping up and down trying to cram another 5 tons on top.

 

Well as Pops would say "You ain't overloaded till you can't move it".

 

Load it till a tire pops then shovel out a hundred ?
